I’m not sure what to think here Ian (regarding the wreck site, not your photography!). The snow and blue sky seem to sanitise the site, I’ve always thought the blackened peat and stark aluminium of the wreck has struck a suitably sombre mood, especially when the mist rolls in…

Both sad and incredibly beautiful at the same time. The snow softens the scene a little. It looks bleak without it. Thank you for the info too. Poor blokes.
ps. I particularly love the last shot – it is so very visual.

Sad that the whole crew died because the pilot failed to maintain adequate altitude. However, such is aviation…one slip-up and you and your crew/passengers are all dead. The photos are magnificent, with the old steel and aluminum contrasted by that stark white snow and the incredibly blue sky, both of which say "life goes on".

tragic tale, amazing condition and amount of wreckage. can only guess this is due to it’s location, or the fact that there still seems alot intact. sure was a snowy arrival for you that day, looks amazing!!

Thanks very much for your views and faves and thoughts everyone. It is a sad place, but the snow certainly added something. This wreck site is worth photographing in any weather (even at night!) but under snow it was special.

Thank you very much for these images. My grandfather Cpl George Ingram perished on this flight. My father was barely 2yrs old when his father died. It is with great interest that i am learning about this awful day that affected my family so much.
